[postgis-users] Returning contiguous linestrings

[Bob Pawley]

Hi Sandro

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've developed the example found in 11.8 TopoGeometry Constructors 
successfully until the Insert geom

    Insert into pid_topo(pid, topo)
    Select 1, topology.toTopoGeom(entities.wkb_geometry, 'test', 11)
    from entities

This creates an error " function topology.totopogeom(geometry, unknown, 
integer) does not exist".

The function toTopoGeom was not found in in neither my self constructed 
Postgis 1.5 topology version nor the Postgis 2.0 version.

Where does this function reside??

Bob

topology.GetRingEdges does the walking around a ring, starting from
an edge. You'd have to build the topology first, making sure that
endpoints do close. A tolerance >= the max distance between those
endpoint might be enough.
